CancerIndex

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It is not a physician, does not diagnose, and does not recommend treatment. Population statistics do not predict individual outcomes.

Every number links to its source and retrieval date. Derived metrics carry a formula version. AI-generated synthesis is not enabled in this phase; all content is database-grounded.

Definition

What this entity is

A uveal melanoma that arises from the choroid. It is the most common primary malignant intraocular tumor. It usually affects Caucasians of northern European descent. It usually remains asymptomatic for a long period. When signs and symptoms occur, they include blurred vision, visual field loss, floaters, and ocular pain. Tumor size is the most important factor that relates to prognosis.

Key figures

At a glance

Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".

No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
